My Support Forums - Mental Health Support Groups

Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

You are currently viewing our community as a guest, which gives you access to view most discussions. By joining over 550,000 other members in our free community, you will have access to post topics, communicate privately with other members, respond to polls, upload content and access many other special features. We are not connected nor do we post anything to social media, so your posts are much more private here than if you post to a social media group. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free so please, join our community today.

This! This is perfect, and absolutely the truth. Your feelings are valid and true, regardless of how someone else sees them, and you are allowed to feel however you feel, even if it doesn't make sense to the rest of the world. For what it's worth, I think you have the right to be mad. Your cousin's response seems dismissive, and during a hard time, that is the last thing you need to hear. I hope you have other people around you who are able to be there for you, in ways that you need right now. Take care of you, and ignore the a-holes.
